    Its so funny, democrats continually completely denied Bidens actually obvious mental problems. But they have been claiming Trumps mental decline, since, like beginning, and its just propaganda bs… I will make concession though because he is 79 damn years old, and yeah I think thats probably too old. There should be some kind of damn age limit. I hope we get a 35 yo president next…

      It’s not propaganda though. I agree they were hiding bidens mental decline. But the fact this old farts on death’s doorstep get to run the country is fucking tragic. Thank god I was not born in the US

        … this is exactly propaganda. Making claims about a president’s health, obviously saying he isnt mentally fit to lead… how is that not propaganda? It doesn’t matter if you be believe it to be true or not, thats not a factor. They are making the claim to ultimately push their agenda, its propaganda.

        It can be hard too see, from… certain angles, sometimes.

            Everything is Propaganda even if true and positive. Its meant to Propagate a set of information or ideas. We just hear it always used as a negativeconnotations.

              The distinction used for the textbook definition of propaganda is essentially to set a narrative the way you want it to by hammering in a specific story with your angle (typically by flooding the relevant channels of communication with variants of your story). Controlling perception.

              Regular communication which isn’t that isn’t propaganda.

                the systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.

                I.e. We have Propaganda ads for our National healthcare system being helpful, free, and serving people. Its put out by the system that is represents. It is by definition propaganda, even though it is true and a beneficial kind.
